Kenya has begun moving about 2,000 animals, including hundreds of zebra and impala, to a rebuilt Meru National Park, the game reserve devastated by rampant poaching in the 1970s and '80s. The animals are being taken from better-stocked reserves around the country. The Meru park was where the orphaned lioness cub Elsa was returned to the wild in Joy Adamson's book ''Born Free.''
